The 71mm turbo “kit” project we undertook is finally nearing completion.  The build process has been documented on our blog and on the Supra forums by the owner of the car.   Here is the “kit”

I have kit in quotes because this is no kit.  It has been been created custom for our client.  This “kit” was custom fabricated in house by Alex Laventure.  He has spent over 70 hours creating this turbo setup for the client.  This setup was created to allow the continued usage of a TRD strut tower bar.  To accomplish this, the turbo was positioned lower in the engine bay.  To accomodate this positioning, a custom turbo manifold needed to be fabricated because one was not available.  The downpipe is 4 inches and currently has a reducer to fit with the current 3 inch exhaust.  The reducer will be removed at a later time once a 4 inch exhaust is fabricated. 

The car is now being reassembled and will be ready to tune by the end of the weekend.  Check back on Monday and enjoy your weekend.
